The gasoline in the water was quickly burned out, and all the surviving Japanese soldiers seemed to be far away from the water in the depths of the tunnel.

Only Honda Shimoki felt very lucky, because of the height of Oriba Mountain, it was impossible for the enemy to flood the tunnel with water, and this method was only effective for the first time.

But this time, the pain is not over.

Many burned people groaned in pain in the tunnels. Yin, which made many soldiers who were already in a bad state of mind very annoyed.

Shimoki Honda saw with his own eyes the quarrel between the two sides, and then the soldiers who were not burned shot the burned soldiers one after another.

Left a word to help you relieve your pain, and none of the soldiers who were slain resisted, only a strong sense of relief.

Honda Shimoki watched all this quietly, those soldiers who were burned, without medical treatment, could not survive in such an environment at all, and they could hold out for three days at most.

However, no matter what, it can't change one fact.

War makes people no longer look like people, and it is war that forces people not to do things.

If you think about it carefully, although Honda Shimoki also feels very ashamed of this move, but on the battlefield, in order to survive, soldiers can only act according to animal instincts like animals, and it is not unusual for anything to happen.

When Honda looked at the corpses not far away, a soldier he didn't know walked up to him and knelt down.

Shimoki Honda didn't know this man at all, and he didn't know if he was in the Navy or the Army, or if he was an officer or an ordinary soldier.

The man had multiple burns on his body, kneeling in front of him and begging: "Kill me, kill me,......"

Repeating this sentence constantly, no matter what questions Honda asks, there are only these four words.

Shimoki Honda nodded helplessly, and after showing a grateful look at his companion and the begging person for the first time, he turned in the direction of Tokyo, closed his eyes, and said the last words: "Please live with my hope, maybe surrender is the best relief." ”

Honda Shimoki's hands holding the gun are trembling. The muzzle of the gun was already pressed against the man's temple, but he couldn't pull the trigger for a long time.

It is happier to die now than to live like this - the Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima created such values, and many Japanese soldiers firmly believe that choosing suicide can save themselves from suffering.

At this moment, Honda's heart was full of struggle, looking at the dying soldier, he didn't know what to do, and after wandering uncertainly, he finally pulled the trigger.

Crisp gunshots rang out, and dead bodies fell to the ground.

There were also six people who were also burned on the side, and although they were not as badly burned as the others, they were also covered in blisters and unable to move, but they were still alive.

And these six people, unlike the other soldiers, groaned. Wailing, screaming.

Shimoki Honda silently picked up his sniper rifle, untied a grenade from his body, and placed it in front of the six people.

In Honda's opinion, it is too wasteful to give them one bullet per person, and one grenade is enough.

However, the soldier who picked up the grenade pulled the fuse, but the grenade never exploded, because the grenade was already damp and could not be detonated.

Honda really couldn't do anything about it, and he also used up six bullets for this.

Every time a gunfire is fired in the tunnel, it must be accompanied by the death of a person, and Honda Shimoki doesn't like this feeling very much.

But in the face of cruelty and very cruel choices, he could only choose cruelty helplessly.

I have to say that participating in this incident, Shimoki Honda's values have been impacted in all directions, and he feels less and less like a top student in the physics department of the University of Tokyo, but more like an executioner.

However, the war did not give him more options, and those who asked for suicide, the soldiers who were still facing the war the day before, and the soldiers who were always hovering on the line of death before, are nothing today.

That night, the desperate news came from the trenches that Lieutenant General Awabayashi Tadamichi had been killed by the enemy.

A small force of the enemy stormed the headquarters of Iwo Jima, killing everyone.

Awabayashi Tadamichi's body was hung directly in front of the Oriba Mountain trench, and many soldiers could see Awabayashi Tadamichi's body through the trench.

However, what made the Japanese despair the most was the running out of food and finally drinking water.

Honda Shimoki is no exception, and there is no one to distribute food or provide the last drinking water.

One day, two days, and the situation made everyone feel real despair.

Lack of food and drinking water is an important problem, and the last food distribution cannot fill the stomach at all, and all the reserves have long been eaten up.

Honda still has a little rice on his body, but he doesn't have water and can't use it to steam food.

He had no choice but to heat the rice with geothermal heat.

In the depths of the underground trenches, the ground heat is about 60 degrees Celsius, and at this temperature, the rice can be cooked, but because the geothermal steam contains a large amount of sulfur gas, Honda Shimoki, who has eaten this kind of geothermal steamed rice, has always been very uncomfortable.

Hungry. The pain of thirst drove a large number of Japanese soldiers to do all kinds of irrational behaviors.

Regardless of the danger, many soldiers went deep into the edge of the camp of the Red Guard Corps, looking for anything to eat.

Although every time people go out, they never come back, hunger drives more people to come back.

In just a few days, the number of Japanese in the trenches was reduced by one half.

In fact, from the very beginning of the war, except for the previous days, the enemy of the Japanese army was no longer the Red Guard Corps outside the trenches.

Their opponents were themselves, hungry and thirsty, and they also belonged to the Japanese soldiers.

A familiar comrade-in-arms came to Honda's side and said, "We don't have any food left, so we can only find a way to get food by ourselves, and in such a situation, we can only attack the enemy outside and get something to survive." ”

However, Honda Shimoki shook his head very dryly, and directly rejected this companion's proposal, but he also handed him the few ammunition on his body, most of it, please wish him a smooth return.

In the middle of the night, Shimoki Honda saw the group leave the trenches, and since then, he has not seen this familiar comrade again.
